The digitization of the archive is near its completion. Digitized images are available via a web browser and Aladin.   AO LNU Plate Archive   Astronomical Observatory of Lviv National University (AO LNU) is the owner of valuable archive that stores approximately 8 000 of photographic plates from 1939, including nearly 6 000 direct images of the northern sky. The archive is partly digitized and images are available via the joint search pages of AO LNU and MAO NASU.   IRA UTR-2 catalogue of RS   The very-low frequency sky survey of discrete sources has been obtained in the Institute of Radio Astronomy of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences (Kharkov, Ukraine) with the UTR-2 radio telescope at a number of the lowest frequencies used in contemporary radio astronomy within the range from 10 to 25 MHz.   Mykolaiv AO stellar catalogues   27 astrometric stellar catalogues of Mykolaiv Aastronomical Observatory (MykAO) in VOTable format are available for downloading   AO KNU Historic Plate Archive   AO KNU glass collection contains about 20 thousand photographic plates. Historical part of the archive was received during 1898-1946 and now is being digitized. home conception consortium resources vo links working groups team founders   team   ASTRO INFO NET The Role of Data Science in Astronomy and Interstellar Exploration  Space has always been a fascinating frontier for humans. From the first satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957, to the amazing Mars rovers, our adventures in space show our love for discovery, creativity, and courage. Exploring space is a big dream, always pushing us to learn more and go further. Nowadays, data science is making a meaningful contribution to space technology. It's changing how we think about space. Being able to gather, understand, and use lots of data has helped us get to know the universe better and has changed how we explore and move through space...   GRID-based Virtual Observatory VIRGO.UA  VO VIRGO.UA for cosmology and astrophysics is a segment of VO «Infrastructure»- a virtual organization, which deals with ensuring the provision of standards for Grid Services for virtual organizations, to ensure reliability functioning of the Ukrainian power grid, Grid training for users and administrators of the Grid sites, as well as the creation of technical conditions UNG for entry into the international grid community...   WDC-Ukraine  WDC-Ukraine is a part of World Data Center System of the International Council of Science (ICSU). Among the basic tasks of WDC-Ukraine there is collection, handling and storage of science data and giving access to it for usage both in science research and study process. That include contemporary tutoring technologies and resources of e-libraries and archives; remote access to own information resources for the wide circle of scientists from the universities and science institutions of Ukraine...   IVOA NEWSLETTER US VAO Data Discovery Portal  Find datasets from thousands of astronomical collections known to the VO and over wide areas of the sky. This includes important collections from archives around the world. Feedback on your experience with the tool is appreciated -- please send your comments, suggestions, and questions to the VAO Help Desk.   US VAO Cross-Comparison Tool  Perform fast positional cross-matches between an input table of up to 1 million sources and common astronomical source catalogs, such as 2MASS, SDSS DR7 and USNO-B. Feedback on your experience with the tool is appreciated -- please send your comments, suggestions, and questions to the VAO Help Desk.   VOPlot v1.8 Beta  VOPlot v1.8Beta includes many enhancements and bug fixes. To name a few v1.8Beta supports multi-grid plots for 2D Scatter-Plot which allows the user to have multiple plots having grid size from 1x1 to 3x3 in a single window. Paginated view is added to see data in tabular format which allows user to navigate systematically. Provision to label Lat/Long lines is also added. Users can now plot a cumulative histogram for all histogram types. VOPlot 1.8Beta shows the metadata of a FITS file instantaneously while the actual loading happens in background. VOPlot v1.8Beta also provides better handling of "faulty data" while parsing an ASCII file.   VAVILOVA Iryna, Ph.D.  irivav@mao.kiev.ua tel/fax +380 44 526 21 47 Head of AstroInformatics Laboratory, ASICC Department, Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv PAKULIAK Liudmila, Ph.D.  pakuliak@mao.kiev.ua tel +380 44 526 47 68 Senior Researcher, Department of Astrometry, Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv PROTSYUK Yury,Ph.D. yuri@mao.nikolaev.ua tel +380 512 47 70 14 Head of the Laboratory of Information Technologies, Research Institute "Mykolaiv Astronomical Observatory",Mykolaiv KAZANTSEVA Liliya, Ph.D. likaz@observ.univ.kiev.ua tel +380 44 486 23 91 Senior Researcher, Department of Astrometry, Astronomical Observatory, Taras Shevchenko National University, Kyiv GOLOVNYA Valentyna golov@mao.kiev.ua tel +380 44 526 47 68 Researcher, Department of Astrometry, Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv YIZHAKEVYCH Olena izhak@mao.kiev.ua tel +380 44 526 47 68 Researcher, Department of Astrometry, Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv SHATOKHINA Svetlana svetash@mao.kiev.ua tel +380 44 526 47 68 Researcher, Department of Astrometry, Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv ANDRUK Vitaly andruk@mao.kiev.ua tel +380 44 526 47 68 Researcher, Department of Astrometry, Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv VIRUN Natalya virun@astro.franko.lviv.ua tel +380 32 260 03 93 Junior Researcher, Department of Practical Astronomy, Astronomical Observatory, Ivan Franko National University, Lviv KASHUBA Svetlana sv.kashuba@gmail.com tel/fax +380 48 722 84 42 Engineer, Research Institute "Astronomical Observatory", Ilya Mechnikov National University, Odesa MAZHAEV Aleksandr mazhaev@mao.nikolaev.ua tel +380 512 47 70 14 Engineer, Research Institute "Mykolaiv Astronomical Observatory",Mykolaiv LAZARENKO Dmytro lazarenko@mao.kiev.ua tel/fax +380 44 526 21 47 Engineer, Main Astronomical Observatory, NAS of Ukraine, Kyiv
